Description
A vibrant, sweet, and crunchy unicorn-themed popcorn treat coated in a colorful marshmallow glaze and finished with sparkling sprinkles.
Ingredients
8 cups popped popcorn
4 cups mini marshmallows
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pink and purple gel food coloring
Assorted sprinkles and edible glitter
Instructions
Step 1: Place the popped popcorn in a very large bowl, ensuring all unpopped kernels are removed.
Step 2: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat, then add the marshmallows and stir until completely smooth.
Step 3: Stir in the vanilla extract and divide the mixture if using multiple colors; add gel food coloring and stir until combined.
Step 4: Pour the warm marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and toss gently until evenly coated.
Step 5: Immediately add the sprinkles and edible glitter while the mixture is still sticky.
Step 6: Spread the popcorn onto parchment-lined baking sheets and allow it to cool completely before breaking into clusters.
Notes
Always use gel food coloring for the most vibrant results without making the marshmallow mixture too runny.
